Mumbai, May 04: Former Aussie skipper and coach Bobby Simpson believes there is nothing wrong with Sachin Tendulkar's form but he does need to "recharge his batteries". "I don't think there is anything wrong with Sachin's form. It is only that he needs to recharge his batteries. I would love to talk to him if he needs tips any time," said Simpson, who is here to coach the under-14 cricketers at the Cricket Club of India (CCI) academy.
Simpson was responding to a question whether Tendulkar's batting had slowed down in recent times.
The former Aussie player also said that skipper Sourav Ganguly and coach John Wright had been instrumental in India's success and the two have complemented each other with some fantastic wins abroad.
"John (Wright) is doing a superb job while Ganguly has led the team in Australia and Pakistan from the front and this has helped India emerge as a very dangerous team," he said.
"Coming back to John (Wright) I think he has played a significant role in moulding the Indian team and if I were to be connected with the Indian cricket board (BCCI) I would have definitely given him an extension", he added.
"Personally I think John (Wright) has got a few more years as a coach and all the hard work he has done with the Indian team has paid off at last. It is always better to have a coach who can deliver the goods than a coach with a big name tag", Wright said.
